Schroder Singapore Holdings, a wholly owned subsidiary of Schroders plc has completed the acquisition of 25% stake in Axis Bank, India's third largest private sector bank’s wholly owned subsidiary - Axis Asset Management Company (Axis AMC). In April this year, Axis Bank had entered into an agreement to sell 25% of the share capital of Axis AMC to Schroder Singapore Holdings.
The acquisition represents a long-term partnership with Schroders with the objective of building a leading Indian asset management business. The transaction provides Axis AMC access to Schroders’ global distribution network and to advise overseas funds invested in Indian securities.
Further, it enables Schroders to participate in the growth opportunity represented by the Indian mutual fund market through a strategic relationship with a leading private sector bank. Longer term, in addition to distributing Axis AMC’s funds internationally, there will be an opportunity to distribute Schroders funds in India through Axis AMC’s distribution network.
Schroders is a global asset management company with £187.3 billion under management as at December 31, 2011.
